SDOT’s new online bike map

Just in time for a weekend of perfect bike riding weather, SDOT rolled out its new online bike map which you can find here. The online map features citywide routes that you can view via street map or aerial view; and this is the best feature: you can narrow your search by what kind of rider you are. Here’s an explanation from the SDOT Blog:

The first thing you’ll want to do is choose whether you are a frequent, average or occasional rider. This narrows or expands the routes you might want to use based on their difficulty. From there you can select ‘points of interest’ (coffee shops, bike shops, libraries, etc.), events that might impact the ‘right-of-way’ and your ride (such as construction) and ‘other transportation’ which shows where the Streetcar operates and direction of one-way streets. Use the Legend button at the top of the page to find out what the map symbols stand for. Don’t forget to zoom in—some of the data is not visible if you don’t.

I love, too, that the map points out bike racks and lockers (oh, and bakeries! Ha!) Happy riding!
